Concert Review: Here Come the Mummies
Truthfully, seeing Here Come the Mummies again at the House of Blues near me was one of the concerts I was really looking forward to last year until COVID put life and live music on hold. Sure, their Halloween livestream was awesome, but I really wanted to be in the room with the band and feed off of their insane energy. Well, I just got that chance last night!
Read moreBook Review: Bone Box by Faye Kellerman
Only after I’ve finished this hefty crime thriller did I find out it belongs to a series written by Faye Kellerman. In fact, Bone Box the 24th installment of the series. Fail.

I mean with a title like The Last Thing He Told Me, Laura Dave basically guarantees that I was going to read this book!

Read moreBook Review: The Dry by Jane Harper
Based on how awesome the movie The Dry was that I watched a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to get my hands on the debut novel written by Jane Harper. Because the movie was so well reviewed, I just knew that the book would be equally as awesome if not better. It is quite rare for a film adaptation of a novel to do so well, and in this case, be so faithful.

You know, for still being in the midst of a pandemic that keeps pushing back the release of so many films, there is still a boatload of new films to be seen! Yes, my Film Independent membership certainly helps with this, but if you look they are there. You just have to be more open to some indie titles!
